I believe it's the marriage between the player and his equipment. If you have a great guitarist with gear (whatever that is) that allows him to express himself the way he wants to, that's where it... |

Yeah, I don't think they make a tremendous difference, that's true. They do feel and sound different though, but it's not a "wow" moment. Not sure if they would do anything for trem stability. I'm... |

Balanced Tension Sets
So, I've been using D'Addario XL120s (9-42) for a long time, and was pretty happy with them. I heard about the "balanced tension" sets, so I thought I'd give them a try. This is a little chart I made... |

Then maybe it's a consistency thing. If it sounds good slower (everything's clean and even), try a metronome (or a drum loop, which is my preference). Then you can really see where it's not working.... |

A lot of it is memorization! And you'l have to go by the relationship of the notes to the key/root (regardless of which note you start on). For example in an A pentatonic the note C is a minor... |

So, if you wanted to find the this for "quarter tones", it would be the 24th root of 2 or 2^(1/24) which is about 1.029, instead of 2^(1/12), which is about 1.059? So for 1/2 steps 440/1.059 is... |

As was previously stated Eb and D# are the same pitch (what you call it depends on the key). Tuning down to Eb (D#) is literally tuning all the strings down 1/2 step. This is very easy to do on a... |

Yeah - you need the right type of bridge. Could be certain Fenders - but a vintage style bridge won't work. It also doesn't need to be locking. |
